Anyone in Bay Area with Enhanced Premium Sound?

Does anyone in the Bay Area have EPS that would be wiling to let me plug their amp in for a moment to troubleshoot my audio issue?

Driver side subwoofer stopped firing. - Hoping to swap the amp to check if its the speaker or the amp instead of removing the seats and what not ...

Would like to confirm its the amp before I drop $1,000 on a new one.

The issue was that the driver side subwoofer (BSW) stopped firing. I swapped the subs around and found the issue follows the subwoofer indicating one of them has failed. I've got a replacement on order.
Though I've always felt the subs hit harder some days than others so I wanted to swap the amp to see if there is any change in the audio quality, before I spend $2,200 on a new amp from BMW. *��*♂️

You also need to specify what year EPS system you have. They had different plugs for different years. It is not a direct plug in and requires repinning the connectors if you have a different EPS amp.

What replacement subwoofer did you get?

I had replaced the original factory subwoofers with the BavSound option last year.
Didn't think they would last only 10 months, but they are sending me a replacement under warranty, hopefully this one will fare better
